A chinchilla can usually be weaned 45 days after birth, but delay a few days if it is weak or grows slowly. After weaning, use alfalfa and chinchilla pellets as the staple.
Its gut is still delicate, so avoid hard-to-digest, greasy, high-sugar or watery foods. Enough alfalfa meets its nutritional needs.
